The Red Shoot Inn, Linwood

At the Red Shoot at the weekend and the place was HEAVING. Despite that, service was fast and pleasent. The staff were efficient when it was busy and chatty when it got quiet after lunch. Food was excellant in both quantity and quality. The beer - unfortunatly I was driving so only had a half of the 'Corvus' stout - Om nom nom. Definately would recommend.

The Mucky Pup, Angel, Islington

Not the easiest public house to find (at least for me) but well worth searching out. There is a VERY friendly barman, good (home made) pork scratchings, reasonable food, and interesting decor. The bitter is limited, only three on tap, but those that are there are very well looked after. The TT Landlord this weekend was more than drinkable. The eclectic jukebox helps the ambiance. I will visit again when I am next in the area.

The Flask, Highgate

Not a bad pub, in a very nice area. After a long walk from the station (Much longer walk back after a few ales!), we finally got to the bar. Nicely spacious pub , with some intimate little nooks and crannies (Otto's corner). A nice big area out front with space heaters - perfect for these autumn nights.

Food was supurb, highly recommend the pork-belly. Wait-staff were very good at coping with a large and random crowd with great dexterity.

Beer - a limited selection of Fullers on draft - though with a couple of surprise additions. The beer was good, but as noted below, measures were short, being poured with a largish head (1/2 inch) and then left that way as the head settled. Fair selection of bottled beers behind the bar .
